Scieszka has come up trumps again! As a primary school teacher I have found 'The Stinky Cheeseman' an invaluable source of entertainment! His adaptataions of traditional fairy stories are not only hysterical but are also great for inclusion of adapted traditional tales in the National Literacy Strategy.
His style and humour keep the children entertained but also provide a forum for discussing the use of illustration in telling a story, adaption, bias and humour.
I would highly recommend 'The Stinky Cheeseman' for children's own personal reading and as a class read during shared reading in the literacy hour - or even better just for fun and giggles!!

This book is full of really silly tales and it is very funny. The pictures show just how stinky the cheese is. Year 3 really enjoyed this book.

My son (age 5) had this book read to him at school and he raved about it for weeks. After several trips to the bookshop and several placed orders (which didn't arrive!!!) I decided to order online in time for his 6th birthday. Having never read/seen the book myself I was a little unsure what to expect.
But...... it's fab...absolutely hilarious.... it really appeals to the cynic in every child... tells the tales of all your fav fairytale stories but with rather different endings.
Plus a super fast delivery........ making for a very happy birthday

more stinky cheese!
Yet another book that was recommended on the PGCE. Haven't tested it out on the kids yet due to their age but I'm sure it will go down well with KS1 and up. Read more

fun for 4-7
We saw the Stinky Cheese Man story in isolation in an anthology of children's stories and bought the whole book on the basis that both my kids (4 and 6) loved the story. Read more
